Down the road from the Rocky Mountain National Park is the [Estes Park Brewery](http://www.epbrewery.com/),
the only brewpub in Estes Park. The facility is in a warehouse, which contains the
brewery, the restaurant, and a tasting room.

The bottom floor of the building is the tasting room, brewery gear, and brewery.
They will pour samples of every beer on tap for free (a big plus). I was able to
sample everything before getting food. They were selling their bottled beer as well(
both cold and warm).

Along with beer for sale, they had various brewery items. A majority of the stuff
was clothing: shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc…many of the standard items in brewery
gift stores. Where they did lack was bar ware. They had steins and coffee mugs; 
no pint glasses, shot glasses, and other typical bar ware.

The restaurant sits on the second floor, which overlooks the brewery. We were there
at lunch time in the middle of the week, so they weren’t that busy. The staff was
hospitable, but not all that prompt. The food was middle of the road; sandwiches
and salads were just OK, but they did have good pizza.

While I didn’t inquire about a tour, you were able to see what they were doing pretty
well. It appeared they did a morning brew and were starting the cleaning process.

I walked out with the [Stinger Wild Honey Wheat](https://www.nyrdcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/20150628_1518401.jpg),
Estes Park Gold, [Trail Ridge Red/Redrum Ale](https://www.nyrdcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wpid-20150704_155749.jpg),
[Renegade IPA](https://www.nyrdcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wpid-20150711_182138.jpg),
[Estes Park Barley Wine](https://www.nyrdcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wpid-20150717_175158-e1437253268708.jpg),
and [Blue Lake Blueberry Wheat](https://www.nyrdcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wpid-20150714_181145-e1437064393108.jpg);
reviews will be coming of these later.

Overall, the brewery was a pleasant experience; the food wasn’t the worst on our
trip, the beer was good, and I got to taste everything for free.
